'Memba them?

Some familiar names here in this old press release that surfaced recently......

Now Hazel, now Jack, now Eugene and Mike; on Debbie, on Joe, on Herbie and all.....to the top of the Board room, to the top of the wall, now fly away, fly away, fly away all......and they did just that, with a little help from the Ohio Ethics Commission and a judge or two at the Franklin County Court House. Most of them were the darlings of that big teacher's union you hear about all the time, the Ohio Education Association (they know how to pick 'em). You can read it here; just click on the image below.................................................................

About Me

A graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Baylor University School of Music, I am a professional symphony musician by background. I am also a retired elementary classroom teacher (nonmusic), having taught in the Alliance (OH) City Schools 2-1/2 years and the Columbus Public Schools 30 years. My first job was as harp instructor at The University of Texas; currently I am a Lecturer in Harp at The University of Mount Union. As a retired educator and a life member of a number of professional organizations, including the Ohio Retired Teachers Association and the Ohio Education Association-Retired, I also worked through CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators, which officially disbanded 9/20/12) to help bring about badly needed reform in our teachers retirement system, STRS Ohio.
